Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans won the night they stopped Kiser from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jack Kiser, the No. 196 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 243. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Ratledge reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 89th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 167 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 243rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
